*** Official #8 Texas Tech vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[Cat Stevens]

The lack of situational awareness is just staggering

Stats of the half

[CycloneVet]

Really ****** way to end the half.

Hopefully giving those up will refocus them

 

[madguy30]

Why do we keep leaving the white guys wide open?

The last shot for Tech doesn't happen if ISU plays for the last shot unless I'm wrong vs. shot clock?

Long rebound=defense out of position in transition.

 

[FerShizzle]

Why do we consistently leave 3-point shooters open?

Because they are coached to leave them to help down low.

 

[pulse]

At least the fire looks to be back. Need to go at them, hopefully draw some more fouls.

 

[Doc]

Just got to lay it on them so hard that last minute doesn’t matter.

 

[CYDJ]

Give me a repeat of that half and I will be happy. TT can have 2 late 3 pointers to make it look good, I dont care.

 

[cyclo120]

Solid half, the energy and effort outstanding to what we have seen in recent weeks. We have to maintain focus defensively for all 20 minutes with no breakdowns like the end of the half. Offensively, don't settle for contested 3's even if we hit a few open ones.

 

[ChickenNuggetMan]

I guess if a few bad defensive possessions is what we’re worrying about, instead of our team not caring, that’s a step in the right direction.

 

[CyclONE Nation]

Minus that last shot, I thought Talley was good on D

 

[06_CY]

That was one conditt. He was way out of position n and left Talley in no mans land. That’s the kind of crap that people don’t notice yet ***** about Conditt not playing.

Yep, Talley had to guard two players, down low and the 3 ball. Someone else was out of position.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Tough way to end the half, but overall a pretty good half. Lets keep it up in the 2nd

 

[IcSyU]

Not using screens to switch Culver onto Wigginton and making him defend dribble drive in the last few minutes was a huge mental error.

 

[trevn]

Play like that in the second half and we win by double digits.

 

[ca4cy]

The last shot for Tech doesn't happen if ISU plays for the last shot unless I'm wrong vs. shot clock?

Long rebound=defense out of position in transition.

We inbounded the ball with 39 seconds left so we couldn't hold for one but LWs shot was plenty early.

 

[dirtyninety]

I wonder how we would fare against Wofford?

 

[CycloneDaddy]

The last shot for Tech doesn't happen if ISU plays for the last shot unless I'm wrong vs. shot clock?

Long rebound=defense out of position in transition.

ISU inbounded the ball with 40 seconds left so no 2 for 1 or last shot in that situation

 

[kcbob79clone]

The last shot for Tech doesn't happen if ISU plays for the last shot unless I'm wrong vs. shot clock?

Long rebound=defense out of position in transition.

About 8 second difference between shot clock and game clock, Wigginton shot at about 6

 

[madguy30]

We inbounded the ball with 39 seconds left so we couldn't hold for one but LWs shot was plenty early.

So at least a chance to work it around for a good look in rhythm instead of jacking that up.

That's the kind of **** that defines this group which is too bad.
